The new B Natural + range will be available in two popular variants – Orange and Mixed Fruit.

To ensure that the B Natural + range reaches consumers through a credible and expert partner and to get quick consumer feedback, this range is being launched with Amway India. As a strategic partner in the space of health and immunity, Amway India is expected to further accelerate reach to the consumers. Subsequently, the new range will also be available nationally across modern trade format, general trade stores and e-commerce websites, through ITC’s PAN-India distribution network.
